Welcome, welcome to another Pop Culture Fix! 


+ “Jane [played by Bomb Girls‘ Ali Liebert] is a farmer in rural Michigan and a single lesbian mom, about to be the ‘best woman’ for her ex-husband who is planning a Christmas wedding to his new bride. They remain best friends. A woman called Sue is his wedding planner, but he doesn’t have much time to plan anything, so leaves the wedding cake tasting and everything else to Jane. And when Jane and Sue’s eyes meet, the real romance begins… Yes, there is snow, and there are copious Christmas lights, scarves, and gloves. And a super-happy, super-gay ending.” Sold? Let’s hope Netflix is too!

+ This is honestly the most exciting movie news I have seen in a very long time: Gina Prince-Bythewood will direct Viola Davis in Woman King: “The film is a historical epic inspired by true events that took place in The Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. The story follows Nanisca (Davis), general of the all-female military unit, and her daughter Nawi, who together fought the French and neighboring tribes who violated their honor, enslaved their people and threatened to destroy everything they’ve lived for.” (Last we heard, Lupita Nyong’o will play Viola’s daughter.)
